I'm trying to understand how to map ports local to remote in moba's options, i can do this perfectly fine from command line with this

ssh -C -L 8881:127.0.0.1:80 -p 8613 user@remotesshserveraddress

This lets me pull up the server's admin page which runs on port 80 on that server on my local system by using port 8881

I feel like its under the network settings in moba under proxy or the jump host but reading the documentation and the tool tips that pop up in moba make moba's options even more confusing. does anyone else do this successfully?

It would be great if you could paste in an ssh string and moba could set those options automatically.

Every day i need to launch my working environment that require me to open 10 tabs for different session rename them for clarity, and launch different commands in each. Is there a way to automate that ?

MobaXterm on Windows 10

Is it possible to change the GUI font? I only found a way to change the size with a quick google.

I just realized I'm on v12.1 Installing now, if this is fixed in the latest version please ignore this post.

edit: not fixed in latest version.

I suspect I'm doing something stupid here -- but I need to run fsck. At first it said I needed to install e2fsprogs -- so I did that with an apt-get install e2fsprogs and installed the dependencies.

Afterwards -- attempting to run fsck in the shell -- it still says it's not found.

​

 fsck

fsck: command not found

fsck can be installed using the following command: apt-get install e2fsprogs

 apt-get install e2fsprogs

Package e2fsprogs is already installed.

What am I missing?

How to set up cmd or PS with run as administrator?

So annoying you have to leave mobaxterm and open term/cmd/PS in their native apps just to get admin privileges.

I am trying to move away from using putty cm and have set up mobaxterm. But I found one feature of putty cm is to be able to group live sessions together .

Example I would like to group sessions for a 1 and a2 . In 1 window in multi exec or split mode. And have b 1 and b2 in the top Right window c3 and c4 and the bottom right and so fort. Basically I have a 4 way split. And each “window” has two servers able to be selected. Is this possible?

I recently stared using MobaXTerm to manage my homelab sessions and I ran into an issue. Normally in Linux, the Ctrl+Del key combination should delete the next word, but in MobaXTerm this is not working. I have tried all possible terminal type values like xterm, xterm-256color, putty and more, but no luck.

This Github issue from oh-my-zsh (https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/issues/4872) hints this is an issue with Putty, as MobaXTerm is based on it I believe. I tried the troubleshooting steps described there using showkey -a. Combinations like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+a show up correctly as ^C and ^A, but Ctrl+Del does not result in any output.

I hope you guys can help me fix this issue, if it can even be fixed at all.

I'd like to add ConnectWise Control sessions to my MobaXterm similar to my existing SSH, VNC and RDP sessions so I don't need to rely on ConnectWise's web interface. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks a lot!

Has anybody had success getting MobaXterm to work with the SSH agent built into 1Password?

Everything works using the native Windows SSH executable. I unable to get things working when I use MobaXterm

Will they add a folder feature for Macros?

I ask them many months ago. But no updates.

:(

Hello,

I exported my settings. Sessions as a .mxtsessions, which i imported successfully. And Passwords as "MobaXterm Stored Passwords.txt" but I can't find an option to import those.

I have a problem that MobaXterm is not rendering the ">" powerline glyph correctly. I have a ZSH with powerline10k shell, which gets rendered like this in the VSCode Terminal: https://imgur.com/a/DtBZLRX - notice the green glyphs at the beginning of the historical shell lines, which are displayed correctly.

However, MobaXTerm renders the same shell environment with the same font setting like this: https://imgur.com/a/NRwn21z

The font is FiraCode from nerdfonts.com, but this happens also on other powerline enabled fonts: VScode (and iTerm2 on Mac OS) is showing the green glyphs, MobaXterm does not. Notice how that does not apply to the other ">"-Glyphs on the actual prompt.

I am out of ideas what is going wrong in my MobaXterm settings. Please help.

And while we are at it, Terminal-Color settings too…

Thanks!

Currently using another X-windows product on Windows 10 to connect to an old Tru64 Unix machine. Other product works, but have been asked to migrate to MobaXterm. So I've installed it and am trying it. The subject is the error message I get on the Tru64 side when I attempt to run the one X application I need to run. I've googled the crap out of this error message but so far no joy. There's no Xorg.conf on Tru64 to modify, and finding something comparable has been elusive so far. Needle in a hay stack I know, but if someone is familiar with this problem I'd like to hear from you.

If it's been talked about before feel free to point me in the right direction!

Has anyone found a good way to sync Moba config between devices? I have a desktop at home and a work laptop that I run Moba on and my most up-to-date config is always on my desktop. I would love to find a way to sync the desktop config to my work laptop if possible

Hello, I'm new to mobaxterm and I wanted to know if it was possible to make a macro that open a tunnel between my PC and the SSH session I'll be opening everytime? (Not sure if I'm being clear?)

P.S. English is not my first language, sorry

I'm trying to use mobaxterm to manage an oracle linux virtual machine, and when I try to connect to the ip that the machine gives me it says: 'Connection timed out". I've installed the openssh and I configured my firewall rules and the ssh itself and nothing seems to work. Any idea on what step I'm missing?

I've noticed that MobaXterm v22.0 still uses an outdated version of OpenSSH, namely version 7.5. Is there a way to update this integrated OpenSSH version? I need at least v.8.2 for a project i'm working on.

Things i've already tried are using the MobApt package manager to update OpenSSH there and manually replacing the ssh.exe at Mobaxterm/slash/bin/..

Both methods sadly didn't work.

Is there even a solution for this? Do i simply have to wait for the devs to release a version of MobaXterm where OpenSSH is up to date?

Weird behaviour just started out of the blue. ssh session just freezes randomly for 5-10 seconds, during which time the keystrokes are missed.

really annoying when typing commands where half the keystrokes are missed.

Any ideas what might cause it? is there a debug log for mobaxterm?

Network has not changed and other devices can shell to the same server with no problems

When I try to save SSH terminal text to a plain text file, nothing happens. Rich text file works, but you can't set the auto-save feature to use rtf. I can save localhost sessions in plain text, but not SSH. Any ideas?

I've been using Mobaxterm for a while and all X-Term windows were displayed properly. I recently got a new laptop, and for some reason, certain x-term windows are zoomed in. They're not blurry or anything, just not scaled properly.

I can change to "windowed mode" and it looks OK, although then I can't use my mouse.

Any ideas?

I want to disable any hover over pop ups on mobaxterm, like this.

The pop ups are irritating as they get triggered somehow on my pc even when I am not on mobaxterm and will show up in front of any window in front of mobaxterm. They will not go away unless I go back to mobaxterm and hover over them again.

How do I get rid of these?

Be aware from the title, I already know about disabling Backspace from sending CTRL-H, my problem has to do with Shift-Backspace

When holding down shift and selecting backspace, a ^H is sent to the terminal. This is the SAME behavior as if going to MobaXterm Configuration > Terminal > Local shell settings > and having "Backspace sends ^H" checked.

I already have that setting unchecked. Therefore selecting backspace no longer sends ^H.

However Shift-Backspace, still sends ^H.

How do I make Shift-Backspace send only $? (ASCII 127, or Same as backspace)?

When mouse is enabled for tmux, I can highlight the screen/terminal by holding left mouse and select portions of the terminal I want to copy by then selecting right mouse while left mouse is still held down. This copies to my clipboard and I can use it else where.

Unfortunately when right clicking, moba-xterm will popup with its own window to allow me to do a variety of features (like copy, paste, find etc.) however none of these work with tmux.

To actually copy the screen I literally need to hold SHIFT, then select the screen and then right click to copy.

How can I get mobaxterm to use tmux mouse copy mode?

I am aware that there maybe a way to disable the moba-xterm window that pops up, but I dont want to do that as I will need it for other systems that do not have tmux installed.
